Bitcoin has managed to climb back above $23k again and it feels like we've conquered the $50k level or something like that. I don't know if you have noticed, but during bearish times most of the active Twitter accounts go into hibernation, and as soon as BTC started moving its tail...
They're back in business again with their charts showing what might or might not happen in the market. I have trust issues with most of them. As a matter of fact, I have unfollowed most of the crypto heads I used to once have on my following list on Twitter.
Truth is that for the past year or so the predictions some of these renowned analysts had had, have simply gone into oblivion with almost none of their targets nailed. It was about time I should create and start following my own rules and targets.
For the past few months, I have managed to buy myself a few coins for the purpose of selling them when we will once again have a proper bull market. Whenever that will happen... I've become an Elrond fanatic, thus I bought myself a few EGLD, DCAing into it down from $84 to my best entry so far of $58.
Don't ask why EGLD? It doesn't matter...
We don't know when we will have a proper bull market again like the one we've had last year. My take is that it will be some time around the next halving... 
It would be great to see the total market capitalization reaching $3 trillion soon, but my gut feeling tells me it's not going to happen. I repeat it's my gut feeling telling me that.
One mistake I made back in 2018-2020 that I don't want to make again is to simply HODL and not get any interest on my assets. Hence I staked almost all of my EGLD for this bear market. The one I have in Binance can be available in "liquid form" in about two-three days if necessary and the other bigger chunk I have on the Maiar app has a ten-day unstacking period.
I do have a bunch of unstacked coins as well, just in case we have a mini bull run coming out of nowhere, but most of the coins are staked and will stay as such until "major shifts" occur. The average APY I'm getting is of about 12% which is not much, but on the other hand quite safe I'd say.
I have to admit I wasn't really a fan of staking until like a month or so ago, but I've realized that during bearish times it could be the best strategy of HOLDing. It would have been nice if I'd had some juicy bull market profits to be putting into HBD savings right now, but too dumb to take profits when I should have.
Maybe next time... What about you, how much of your portfolio is staked?
Thanks for your attention,
Adrian
